Compress PDF for Income Tax Portal Online Free
Compress your ITR supporting documents to ~500 KB so they upload to the e-filing portal without rejection.
The Income Tax e-filing portal (incometax.gov.in) usually limits individual PDF uploads to 1 MB, with 500 KB being the safe target for most attachments (Form 16, rent receipts, capital gains statements, donation receipts, etc.). Larger PDFs are rejected outright. This page compresses your file to a 500 KB JPEG-rendered PDF entirely in your browser.
